OTHER ITEMS

This Cosabella bralette is incredible.It is comfortable and wonderful. Waiting for a major sale.

WHAT I MADE (DIY)

Got bored. Starting making necklaces. 🙂 I break apart my old necklaces and make new ones.

C/O (CARE OF) GIFTED ITEMS

I reviewed Grana items here, and absolutely plan on repurchasing the silk tops and the cashmere pants again.

BEAUTY

REPURCHASED STAPLES

• John Masters Organics shampoos (in..Bare & neutral, Zinc/sage which smells like vanilla, Lavender/rosemary which smells like lavender mostly, Primrose which smells like a creamy vanilla sweet rose.)
• Paula’s Choice items (read all about my regimen & favourite items)
• Maybelline Baby Lips lip balm — it’s fantastic with SPF 20.

NEWFOUND LOVES

• John Masters Organics avocado conditioner – Just a little goes a long way on the ends
• Paula’s Choice items (Antioxidant serum / BHA 9)

NO THANKS, I’ll PASS

• Paula’s Choice RESIST anti-aging serum — didn’t do anything to my spots.
• Atelier Cologne Sets — ended up being too fruity, sweet & cloying in the end. I much prefer Replica’s Beachwalk, Clean Warm Cotton and Replica’s Fireplace.
